This music festival season, give yourself and, more importantly, your festival companions the gift of good hygiene. Music festivals are a fun way to let loose and enjoy your favorite music but often come at the expense of your everyday self-care routine.
After a long day of dancing, all you want to do is climb into bed for a well-deserved rest. Next time you go to a music festival, you can flop into bed guilt-free by using a few essential products to stay fresh throughout the day.
Music festivals are all about glitz and glam, and a bad hair day is a quick way to get cropped out of your friends' pictures. Use dry shampoo followed by a leave-in conditioner to keep your hair sleek, clean and frizz-free.
